Description
Discover the allure of Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, a standout red from Bordeaux's Graves region, crafted in a hidden enclave surrounded by dense forest. This secluded spot shields the vines from harsh weather shifts, nurturing a wine that thrives in quiet distinction, away from the usual spotlight. Such isolation crafts a Bordeaux treasure that punches above its discreet origins.
Picture uncorking a bottle where vibrant red and black fruits burst forth first—think black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry weaving through notes of pepper and warm spices. On the palate, it unfolds with remarkable poise: dense yet light on its feet, brimming with energy and finesse. Ripe fruit sweetness lingers, juicy and inviting, layered with earthy humus, graphite, and licorice accents. Freshness cuts through, balancing every element in perfect harmony.
Critics rave about its elegance. James Suckling awards 97 points, praising the full-bodied structure, polished tannins, and blue fruit highlighted by crushed stones. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate matches that score, calling it magical with wild plums, blackcurrants, violets, and a seamless, perfumed finish. Jeb Dunnuck's 97 points highlight its pure darker fruits, scorched earth, and flawless balance. Wine Enthusiast sees 95+ potential in the structured tannins and juicy black currants, while Decanter, Wilfred Wong, and Wine Spectator all score it 95 or 94, underscoring its refined promise.
A classic Bordeaux blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, this 13.5% ABV red in a 750 ml bottle delivers sophistication for collectors and enthusiasts. Its tight-knit tannins and lively fruit suggest a wine that rewards patience, evolving into deeper complexity over time. Ideal for pairing with robust meals or savoring solo, Domaine de Chevalier Rouge stands as a testament to understated excellence—secure yours to experience this forest-guarded gem.
